Fire Fighter Flower douses oil fires, doubles as a fridge magnet

Look, we don't come up with this stuff, so don't look our way when that magnetic, fridge-mounted Fire Fighter Flower you bought ends up catching on fire and then destroying all of your 2nd grade pictures on the fridge -- it's your own dang fault.

How does this have nothing to do with Super Mario? HOW?!

He probably means Mario Sunshine

I'd buy one, if it was a Hello Kitty extinguisher.

Naw, this doesn't fit the Mario scheme... in Mario the flower helps *cause* fires, hehe. This really is a neat idea though... but the most fun is the Engrish translation from the Google Web Translator. For those too lazy to click the link and wait for the translation, here's part of the product description... much have the funs.

At the time of fire of heaven [pu] and others oil
Fire fighter flower

As for setting up digestion medicine in flower

On midst of cooking flame

So how to use is simple

The flower is thrown to heaven [pu] and others oil fire slowly just.

Directly not to be on side of the fire, because also the [te] is good, we do not fear.


Digestion!!　It makes the membrane in the boundary of the oil, it digests by the fact that the air is cut off.

Because the magnet has been attached, it is installed in the refrigerator and the like.

From the interior it is quick in the digestion instrument alternate

In regards to hello kitty, they do seem to have a "Hello Kitty prevention of disasters set" complete with:

Rucksack fire-resistant polyurethane PP
The prevention of disasters [zu] it is to come (the cover substance: Cotton and medium cotton: Resistance to flame cotton)
Blanket (polyester)
Porch (combination skin)
Crime prevention buzzer (ABS resin PP)
Bandanna (cotton)

That really sounds great.

But... can you still eat it?

Here's what the text on the ad says: (top to bottom)

There's a fire-extinguishing chemical in the flowers!

Easy to use when there's a fire when you're cooking.

Just throw the flowers gently into the middle of a Tempura fire.

You don't have to be right next to the fire so you don't have to be scared.

"EXTINGUISHED!"

A film forms over the surface of the oil and prevents air getting into the fire, extinguishing it.
